Plenty of businesses have a website they are quietly embarrassed by. It looked fine three years ago, it is slow on a phone, nobody remembers how to edit it, and it produces almost no enquiries. The fix is rarely a fresh coat of paint. It is rebuilding around what the site is actually meant to achieve.
We start with the commercial question rather than the visual one. Who lands here, what are they trying to work out, and what should happen next? Once that is settled, layout decisions become straightforward. Without it, design turns into personal preference and the site ends up beautiful and useless.
Page speed affects rankings, but more importantly it decides whether anyone waits around. We build lean templates, compress and correctly size images, defer non-essential scripts, and keep plugin bloat under control. A site that loads in under two seconds on mobile data will outperform a heavier, prettier one almost every time.
Most of your visitors arrive on a phone. We design for that screen first, then expand outward, which produces cleaner hierarchy and fewer awkward compromises than shrinking a desktop layout down and hoping it holds together.
A redesign is the cheapest moment to get technical SEO right, and the most expensive moment to get it wrong. We handle heading structure, semantic markup, clean URLs, schema, and redirect mapping from old pages so hard won rankings survive the move. Sites that lose traffic after a relaunch almost always skipped this step.
Calls to action sit where people are ready to act. Forms ask only for what you genuinely need. Proof, whether that is testimonials, case detail or credentials, appears at the moments people are deciding whether to trust you. Structural choices like these usually move enquiry numbers further than a visual refresh does.
We build on WordPress with editing in mind, so your team can update content without needing a developer or breaking the layout. You get a handover walkthrough and documentation. No hostage situations, no calling us to change a phone number.
The result is a site that reflects the business accurately, holds up under traffic, and quietly does its job in the background instead of needing constant rescue.
Goals, audience and sitemap agreed before design begins, so the build starts from a clear brief.
Wireframes then full design, with hierarchy, typography and spacing that guide attention deliberately.
A clean, standards-based build that behaves correctly across phones, tablets and desktops.
Image handling, caching, script loading and Core Web Vitals addressed during the build, not bolted on afterwards.
Semantic markup, schema, clean URLs and full redirect mapping so existing rankings carry across.
Documentation and a walkthrough so your team can manage day to day content confidently.
We agree what the site must achieve and who it speaks to before a single screen is designed.
Wireframes establish structure, then visual design carries your brand through consistently.
Development with performance, accessibility and search visibility handled from the first commit.
Testing, redirects, analytics and handover, followed by support while the site settles.
A focused brochure site usually takes four to six weeks. Larger builds with custom functionality or heavy content migration run eight to twelve. In practice the timeline depends more on how quickly content and feedback arrive than on development itself.
They will if the migration is handled properly. We map every old URL to its new destination, preserve the page structure that earns traffic, and monitor closely after launch. Traffic losses following a relaunch are almost always down to skipped redirects.
In most cases, yes. It keeps you in control of your own content, has a mature ecosystem, and avoids locking you into a platform you cannot leave later. If a project genuinely suits something else, we will say so rather than force it.
That is the intention. We build with editable content areas and hand over documentation plus a walkthrough, so routine updates never require a developer or risk breaking the layout.
We can advise on hosting and set it up alongside you, and we offer ongoing maintenance covering updates, backups, security monitoring and small changes. It is optional, not a condition of the build.
Clarity on goals, any brand assets you already have, and a point of contact who can approve decisions. If the content is not written yet, we can help plan and produce it.
